From Jeanne Hollingsworth / update on Coldwater.

Hi All,
I spoke with Steve Johnson of the National Park Service yesterday and a decision for the preferred
alternative has been made for the Bureau of Mines Property and Coldwater Spring to be owned and
managed in perpetuity by the National Park Service.  A letter will be sent out to those on their mailing
list within a week. Anyone who has moved may want to contact the National Park Service with their change
of address.  Their phone number is 651-290-3030.

In addition to what is in the article below, there will be public meetings held this winter regarding restoration
of the Site and Coldwater Spring.
That’s it for now,
Jeanne
